Wie Ben Ik? : ratings on October 18th - news posted on October 19th 2008

Yesterday's broadcast of " Wie Ben Ik? " on SBS 6 was watched by 1 114 000 viewers (market share: 18.3%). The ratings are still acceptable even there's a decline in comparison with the previous shows. There are two reasons for this slight decrease. On the one hand, the programme was scheduled half an hour later than usual (at 9.55 PM). On the other hand, competition with other channels (Nederland 1 and RTL 4) is intense. Fortunately, the public couldn't notice the tension between Patty Brard and Patricia Paay (see news posted on October 16th) . At the end of the programme, while Gerard Joling was singing his latest hit, Patty did the splits (her trademark since her funny performance in Sterren Dansen Op Het Ijs ). source: SBS 6/Kijk Onderzoek

The "enfant terrible" of Luv' , Patty Brard , has recently been approached by Telegraaf Tijdschriften Groep (part of Telegraaf Media Groep N.V , the largest Dutch media and publishing company) to launch her own magazine. A single issue, in association with the celebrity gossip mag "Privé ", is planned for the moment. It's not the first time that the Shownieuws presenter is involved in a publication. In late 1992, the TV diva had already started a magazine: "Hello/Brard ".
